How the Referee Process Works
1- The articles sent to MJES are subjected to preliminary examination by our editorial board before entering the referee process, and after the approval of ‘can enter the referee process’, they are sent to two national or international referees who are experts in their fields.
2- Articles that receive a ‘publishable report’ from both referees are included in the ‘list to be published’ for the next issue.
3- In case of a positive or negative response from the referees, the Editor is authorised to publish the article.
4- In case of two rejection decisions from the referees, the referee reports are sent to the author with the ‘unpublishable decision’.
5- In case of a ‘correction decision’ from the referees, the articles are forwarded to the author together with the referee report and a period of 2 (two) months is given to make the necessary corrections. The corrected article is sent to the same referee again and the article that receives a ‘publishable report’ is included in the ‘list to be published’ for the next issue.
